to marry him."
Pop dropped his fork, "You was a-
goin' to marry Jed?" •
"Sure. Only his folks wanted him to
marry Edda Stout, She owned all the•
bottom land nearly in Clarke county,
He couldn't marry me until he was of
age, on account o' his folks wantin' him
to marry Edda, In a year he figures
he can get all her money and then di-
vorce her and marry me. Meanwhile
he said. I might as well marry you,
then when lie got all Edda's money I
could divorce you and marry him. Said
'ou was about the most harmless male
bein' in all Clarke County and no
harm would come to me niarryin' you.
He said if I married anybody else 1
might` fall in love with him and then
he'd lose out."
"So that was the way o' things! .1
remember. Jed did divorce Edda a
year or so later. How come you never
told me this before, Lil? And how
come you decided not to divorce me
and marry Jed after he got his di-
vorce."
"How come?" Maw said. "Well,
Pop, I guess maybe you was kind o'
responsible for that. Ain't no tellin'
how a woman looks at things until
she's hogtied to a man. I just kind o'
forgot about jed. Money didn't matter
•
so much, after all. I found out it was
the man that mattered. You kind o'
had good ways, only they was the
right kind. Made a girl think twice
afore junipin' from the fryin' pan into
the fire. You was good enough for
nit, I found. If there was any better
men's you, I wouldn't have no way a'
knowin. o' course, Everything was so
nice I didn't think it could be any nic-
er, so I just decided to hang onto you
and let fed root for himself."
"By gum!" Pop exclaimed after a
moment's reflection. "Now I am
a-goin' to that keg openin' tonight if
it kills me. And you're a-goin' with
me, Lil. I won't have Jed thinkin' he
didn't get cheated in the deal, consarn
his clanged hide! If I go without you
he'll think I don't care none about you,
and I want to make him feel right
good and jealous."
"fed jealous after fifty-two years?"
Maw said increduously.
"Well, if he ain't he ought to he!
Happy New Year„Mawl"
"I'll go," Maw said, "but remember,
Pop Levis, if you get drunk to-night
I'll break the mop handle over your
head when we get home—that is, if I'm
still able to tell a flriop handle from a
crowbar."

for His Majesty's Ship Cormorant.
They received four shillings a day,
plus presents for the!r chiefs, but they
soon quit, demanding higher pay.
There was no setttlement.
Mining methods were crude, the mi-
ners being 'lowered into the shaft in a
big tttb.

as the "longest coal miners' strike it
history."

NEW YEAR'S AT
- THE CORNERS
Vol)," Maw Lewis called from the
kitchen, "you get your lazy bones otit
of that chair and wash up! Dinneen he
ready In two shakes of a lamb's tail,"
Pop managed to lift his six feet of
bone-and sinew to his feet and headed
for the kitchen sink.
"Don't you go usin' that clean towel,
neither," Maw admanished, "That's
for company, Use the rbiler towel.
Sakes alive, I do believe you'd wipe
yam. dirty feet on the front door mat
if I'd leave it out,"
"What's a door mat fer," Pop flared,
"if it ain't to wipe feet,on?"
Pop gave the roller towel a vicious
jerk. "Y'know tonight 'bein' New Year's
Eve, Maw, you 'nd me ought to step
out somewheres, They're having a
big shindig over at the Corners store,
Jed Hafey's openin' a keg,"
"If it's anything like that keg he
opened Thanksgiving, you ain't get-
tin' any nearer to it than you are right
now. Pretty howdy-do, you cumin'
home six o'clock in the mornin' and
shootin' off the shotgun through the
roof so it leaks like a sieve. No, siree,
you ain't even gettin' near enough to
have a smell of any keg Jed :Hafer
opens," Maw said. •
Suddenly Pop looked up from his
plate. `Veil, consarn! What you cry-
in' about Maw?"
"I ain't cryin'," Maw denied, "I'm
just thinkin'—thinkin' back fifty-two
years. You was payin' attention to me
and kind o' jealous like. I couldn't
turn 'round but what you was kissin'
me, You was jealous o' fed Hafey—
jealouser than anything."
Pop snorted disdainfully. "What'd
I have to be jealous o' Jed Hafey fer?"
Tell me that."
"Plenty," Maw said, "I was going
